Pros
The product solves a real problem, and for a long time the mission felt genuinely worth showing up for. The people doing the actual work reflected that. Day-to-day, you were surrounded by teammates who cared about the mission and each other. That culture at the ground level was real.
Cons
Pay has been below market for years and the dial never moved in any meaningful way. Staying felt worth it because the mission was real and the people were good. But after six-plus years, leadership eliminated the entire teams and followed it up with a small merit increase as if that settled the score. It didn’t. At some point it became impossible to ignore that staff were being treated like numbers, not people.
